Présentation
Guarantee and rescue native seeds with knowledge in adaptable techniques in the region and production with technical follow-ups for commerce.
The community is willing to work together to plant native seeds in the area to help rescue and plant them with the assistance of a local storage unit for seeds. There is a need to promote awareness on seed planting and management along with workshops and capacity building activities with a sustainable focus to promote a diverse quality and production. 16 communities in the Delmiro Gouveia county will help produce, package and sell products.
The project focuses on improving livelihoods through capacity building activities in order to recover the region´s degraded areas, where seed diversification and plating will be prioritized.
These activities serve as an example for the entire local population which sees results in the production and information dissemination among the local communities.
